Their website says low stock again but for 1.799! As the emailprice trick didn't work I got in touch with them and asked for the price of the last deal - and voilà I got one for 649!

Ah, living up to your name it seems.

Don't worry, customs already trademarked my name for that. You're lucky Fedex does it for you.

I started to use the Singxer SA-1 as a pre-amp instead of a passive one for my two Parasounds Zamps v3 and it makes a pretty nice addition. The Sa-1 got rid of the small noise from using the pre-amp, increased their dynamics, and soundstage. If you are using a stereo amp for the He6, then you may want to use a headphone amp instead of a passive pre-amp.

Yeah, I figured this out when using the Saga for the A/B test.

Do we have a consensus about which grill material / pattern is the best? I currently simply remove the cloth and already feel great.

How does it sound as a headphone amp with the he6se ?

Ok I just received my Schiit Jotunheim 2 amp and will be testing it with my HE6SE. But after only a couple of songs so far it's definitely providing a better sound over the Asgard 3, since it's more powerful.
